Home screen not rotating

Milleren — Fri, 29 Apr 2016 18:37:34 GMT

The home screen om my Z4 Tab doesn't rotate, even though it's set on automatic rotation. All apps rotate normally, but not the home screen. There are two other user accounts on the tab, and the rotation is working perfectly on these. The problem applies only to my user account. Been through the settings, but can't find anything.

Any ideas?

What if you restart the tablet or change the auto rotate (turn it off) > restart the tablet > turn it back on

Do you have stamina mode or any battery app on this account? is this the main account?

Yes, it's the main account. Android 6.0, no stamina mode, no battery saving apps.

This is really odd, you might have to repair the tablet with PCC

Since the other users on the Tab didn't have the same problem, I made another user using the same Google account as the main one. No rotating issues on the new account either. So I'll just leave it like that for the time being, and maybe reinstall everything later on as it seems like the problem is isolated to the one user account.
